This application was created as part of a UT Full Stack Coding Bootcamp challenge. Given the starter code of a working Express.js API, code was configured to use Sequelize to interact with a MySQL database.
Code syncs Sequelize models to a MySQL database on the server start, includes column definitions for all four models and model associations, and provides the following GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE routes:
Category
- GET all categories, GET a single category by ID, POST(create) a new category, PUT(update) and existing category by ID, and DELETE an existing category by ID.
Tag
- GET all tags, GET a single tag by ID, POST(create) a new tag, PUT(update) an existing tag by ID, and DELETE an existing tag by ID.
Product (including ProductTag)
- GET all products, GET products by ID, and DELETE products by ID. POST(create) and PUT(update) product routes were provided in starter code.
Watch video to see application set-up in VSCode and demonstration all API routes' endpoints using Insomnia:
E-Commerce.Back.End.mov
- Check if you have Node.js installed by typing
node -vin your command line. If node is not installed, visit the Node.js website to install. - Next, clone this project repository to your computer.
- Use the command
npm ito install dependencies. - Create a file in the root directory titled
.envand include database name and personal MySQL login information:
DB_NAME='YOUR DATABASE NAME'
DB_USER='YOUR USERNAME'
DB_PW='YOUR PASSWORD'
- Open MySQL with command
mysql -u root -pand enter your personal MySQL password. - Create databse with command
source schema.sql. Log out of MySQL with command\q. - Seed database with command
npm run seed.
- Start server with command
npm start. - Alternatively, start server with Nodemon (and restart server automatically when making changes to code) with command
npm run watch. - Access API routes with Insomnia using the following endpoints:
| CATEGORY | TAG | PRODUCT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET (ALL), POST(CREATE) | http://localhost:3001/api/categories/ | http://localhost:3001/api/tags/ | http://localhost:3001/api/products/ |
| GET (BY ID), PUT(UPDATE), DELETE | http://localhost:3001/api/categories/:id | http://localhost:3001/api/tags/:id | http://localhost:3001/api/products/:id |
- Make POST and PUT requests with the following JSON body formats:
CATEGORY
{
"categoryName": "STRING INPUT"
}
TAG
{
"tagName": "STRING INPUT"
}
PRODUCT
{
"product_name": "STRING INPUT",
"price": DECIMAL INPUT,
"stock": INTEGER INPUT,
"tagIds": INTEGER INPUT
}
Starter code was provided by Xander Rapstine (Xandromus) and UT Austin Boot Camps.
